Tip Tuesday :: It's All in the Writing
It's not secret that we absolutely LOVE a good label! When it comes to organization and all things NEAT, having a well written label is such a nice finishing touch that will most likely help keep you organized. Because after all, you are going to be less likely to put things away in wrong bins, baskets, and jars if the each have an appropriate label!
BUT what if you are not blessed with beautiful handwriting?? While some of the NEAT girls are better handwriters than others, all you need is a little practice and you will be well on your way to having beautifully written labels all around your home!

the NEAT girls
We are Ashley and Marissa, the founders of Neat Method.
Lets face it – we obviously love to organize and are a little…or maybe we should say a lot type-A. This perfect storm created The Neat Life. Welcome! We’ve seen it all, heard it all, organized it all, and are always obsessed with seeing a perfectly NEAT space. Even if a clutter free space doesn’t tickle your fancy as much as ours, we guarantee you will be entertained by our antics and drive to make the world a NEAT-er place!
